STRAWBERRY SOUGHT FOR ARREST
TAMPA, Fla., March 30 An arrest warrant for Darryl Strawberry was issued
today after he left the drug treatment center where he had been serving two
years' house arrest.
Strawberry, 39, the troubled former Mets and Yankees slugger, disappeared
after leaving a drug treatment session on Thursday night, said Joe Papy,
head of the Florida Department of Corrections' regional office. Papy said
Hillsborough County Sheriff's deputies and a fugitive apprehension team
have been been unable to locate him. The Hillsborough County State
Attorney's Office sought the warrant.
Strawberry has been out of jail since November, when he was fitted with an
electronic monitor to alert officials if he was to leave the treatment
center, where he has been living under house arrest.
Papy said Strawberry, who is battling cancer along with his drug addiction,
had been doing well. "All of his drug screens were clear," Papy said.
